marketplace

A business-to-business marketplace means the sale of one business’s product to another business. Therefore, B2B is about delivering the needs of other businesses driven at their ends.

The people who buy products for businesses are also consumers.

Basically, B2B depends on the same basic concept as the B2C Marketplace (our normal marketplace) ie; business to consumer marketplace but are executed in a different and unique way.

The basic difference between the two is that in B2C customers select products based not only on price but on popularity, status, and brand

While B2B customers make decisions on price and profit potential and as per their business requirement.
